The game's story features three playable characters, each with unique narratives and side missions tied to two factions, while the third character serves as an antagonist. However, players find the story to be underdeveloped and presented poorly, with short missions and a lack of engaging content, leading to a sense that it is more of a concept than a complete narrative. Overall, while there are elements of interest, the execution leaves much to be desired, and many hope for future updates to enhance the storytelling experience.
- “There are 3 playable characters, each with different stories and side missions. Two factions are assigned to the first and second characters, while the third one is an enemy to both, which makes it more action-paced.”
- “Also, as a Touhou fan, I appreciate the story for every character. I really hope we'll see more of these.”
- “Again, with the English translation in its current state, you probably aren't going to get an insane edge-of-your-seat story with gripping characters and high stakes, but the variety in tasks and characters is nice and well appreciated.”
- “The story is very short and the missions aren't very interesting.”
- “There is a story but it's presented in text very poorly and easy to miss since it goes by fast and happens during combat.”
- “Story-wise, there is some sort of story going on, but it feels incomplete. I feel this is more like a concept of a whole story rather than a complete piece of it.”

The gameplay is characterized by clunky mechanics and a lack of depth, with players primarily engaging in shooting other characters in a stylized environment. While the aesthetics and sound design are praised, the AI behavior is inconsistent and often illogical, detracting from the overall experience. The game features a basic loop of exploration and combat, but the reliance on random item drops can lead to frustrating moments.
- “The gameplay is pretty good; you walk around an Eastern Bloc city, gunning down other girls with guns and are awarded money for each one.”
- “Combines the mechanics of The Division and the feel of Escape from Tarkov, but it's too short from what I've read.”
- “The gameplay loop is there, but the items you get from the boxes are completely randomized, which can severely impact your experience depending on the RNG.”
- “Jank ass, barely replayable game with no real gameplay aside from playing as an anime girl shooting another anime girl with an IRL gun.”
- “Gameplay is okay, but the AI needs a lot of improvement. Enemies have a detection time that is not affected by distance, leading to some bizarre moments. For example, if you are 50 meters away, they take time to notice you, which is believable, but the same time window applies when you are less than 5 meters away. This results in strange situations where enemies walk right past you without noticing. The AI throws grenades and sometimes investigates gunshots, but it needs much more work to be functional and logical.”
- “I really like the aesthetics and sounds of the game, but sadly, the AI and general gameplay feel very strange and clunky.”
